Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant de trouver une place libre dans un parking couvert ou non, ou dans un parc de gare. Sur demande d'une place libre, un système de localisation établit tout d'abord la position actuelle du véhicule puis détermine, sur la base de cette position, les places potentielles dans la zone de recherche. Les informations sur les places de parking sont de préférence transmises par le canal TMC du système de radiocommunication de données (RDS) d'un autoradio. Si plusieurs villes se trouvent dans la zone de recherche, il est possible de sélectionner la ville concernée sur un clavier. En outre, il est possible de sélectionner des quartiers de la ville offrant des places libres, afin de trouver une place le plus près possible du lieu de destination. Dans le cas des parcs de gare, les lignes des transports publics de banlieue sont également indiquées, ainsi que d'autres informations telles que la fréquence des trains. Ce dispositif est intégré dans un autoradio, de façon à permettre l'utilisation des éléments récepteurs, des organes d'entrée et des affichages de l'autoradio.

Abstract: A Minimal Container, made of pre-cut corrugated cardboard strips fastened together at overlapping surfaces and folded to form a rectangular frame, without generating any scrap corrugated cardboard. The Minimal Container is intended to protect contents for one shipping application. Each side and top and bottom ends of the rectangular frame have an open area. Plastic film is wrapped around the Minimal Container, enclosing it and being connected to it, not only for dust and weather protection, but also to enhance structural rigidity of the Minimal Container. A method of constructing the Minimal Container includes gluing or stapling the corrugated cardboard strips together to form a ladder structure; scoring, slitting, and folding the ladder structure to form the rectangular frame; fastening the rectangular frame together; loading contents in to the rectangular frame; enclosing the rectangular frame with a flexible plastic film wrap; and connecting the flexible plastic film wrap to the rectangular frame.

Abstract: A self-sealing bag valve for use with a quick-disconnect coupling in a bag-in-box (BIB) syrup dispensing assembly for a post-mix beverage dispenser includes a plastic spring assembly for normally biasing a poppet of a self-sealing valve into sealing engagement with a valve seat thereof. The spring assembly includes a petaloid-shaped disc having evenly spaced petaloid segments defining flow passages therebetween, a retaining ring for securing peripheral portions of the petaloid-shaped disc in fixed positions in the bore of the self-sealing valve and a petaloid stem protruding from the disc into engagement with the valve poppet. The petaloid-shaped disc includes a first frusto-conical portion extending from the retaining ring to a circular termination line concentric with the ring and a second frusto-conical portion extending from the circular termination line to the petaloid stem. The first and second frusto-conical portions, when in an installed, normal biasing position (the closed position of the self-sealing valve), have opposite slopes with respect to an axis orthogonal to the petaloid disc providing a bend about the circular termination lines forming knees in each petaloid segment for accommodating flexing of the elements about the knees. A groove is provided in the central bore of the valve housing for accommodating a snap-fit of the retaining ring therein.

Abstract: The invention relates to a golf cup insert for reducing the size of the hole of a golf cup so that a player is able to putt towards a smaller cup. The cup insert can be inserted into and fixed positionally in the cup so that the upwardly facing end of the insert will present a hole whose diameter is smaller than the diameter of a conventional golf cup and which is located flush with the surface of the ground surrounding the cup. The insert includes a cup insert member whose largest outer diameter is slightly smaller than the internal diameter of the cup and has at its bottom an axially adjustable support which when the insert is inserted into the cup, supports against the bottom thereof and enables the upwardly facing side of the cup to be adjusted to the level of the surface surrounding the golf cup, depending on the depth of the cup. The cup insert member tapers concentrically downwards so that when the cup surrounding surface slopes in relation to the cup axis, the cup insert member can be leaned against part of the cup wall and therewith enable the upwardly facing end of the insert to be brought flush with the surface of the ground surrounding the cup.

Abstract: In a method for recording a selected sequence of characters with the aid of a pen, the latter is passed over the sequence of characters and a plurality of images, whose contents partially overlap, are recorded simultaneously with the aid of a light-sensitive sensor (8) with a two-dimensional sensor surface. The recorded images are put together, horizontally as well as vertically, into an image. Subsequently, the characters in the composite image are identified and stored in the pen with the aid of a predetermined character code formal. The putting-together, the character identification, and the storing are carried out with the aid of a signal processing unit (20-24). By the method and the pen compensation is obtained for different speeds of movement and different angles of rotation of the pen.
